An overall solid defensive performance against a side bursting with Premiership quality. The Addicks were undone by a top quality striker by Charlie Austin, an effort worthy of a player who cost £4m this summer.
Charlton huffed and puffed, but never really maintained any sustained pressure or clear cut opportunities. A powerful drive from distance from the growing Jordan Cousins was arguably the Addicks best effort on the day. Charlton left Loftus Road in the 'put up a decent show, but come away with nothing for it' category.
